TWO ACRES OF RyTyS.
Fire Destroys Railway Plant, Throwing
500 Men Out of Employment.

500 Men Out of Employment.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 1S.-At half-past
? O'Clock this morning a fire started in
the carpenter shop of the Cincinnati
Southern Railway, at Ludlow, Ky, and
spread with great rapidity owing to the
lack of water and the fact that
Ludlow has no fire Departments.
The immense car and machine
shops, covering two acres of ground,
were totally destroyed, together with all
the tools and machinery, and large
number of cars and material. The
round-house caught fire and ii was at
first thought to be doomed, but by the
efforts OF the employees the building WIS
saved. Among the losses are Mann
Doudolr car, pay car, private car,
two Pullman cars, three passen-
ger coaches, seven flats loaded
with coal, and twenty-five new freight
cars. About 800 employees will be
thrown out of employment, and it will
require a long time to rebuild the
burned property. The loss cannot yet
be fairly stated, but exceeds $20G, ,00G.
Ludlow is q small village on the Ken
tucky side of the OHIO River, opposite
the western part of Cincinnati, ana is
mainly dependent on the Southern
Railway shops for employment for its
Late estimates of the total loss make
it $4,000. 1t is fully insured in two
London companies.

THE PANAMA CANAL,
A Gloomy View Taken in Regard to its
Probable Completion.

Senor TANGO Armero, agent of the Co.
lombian government on the isthmus re-
specting canal affairs, has just completed
his report on the canal. Senior Armero
commences by saying: 81 have care
fully travelled over the whole line, hav-
ing formed an opinion respecting the
work, and am now in possession of cor
rect data as to the technical and practi-
cal work of the canal. The annual reports
presented by Count de Lesseps to the
shareholders are the only official and
reliable documents within the reach of
the public, but whether it be from the
concise terms on which these are
couched or the fact that they are in
tended to inspire the shareholders with
greater confidence in the canal, thew are
partial in their character, and are not so
precise as one would desire. Neither,
IN my opinion, do they furnish an exact
idea of the situation. On the other
hand the writings of the pessimists and
detractors of the undertaking are ex-
aggerated in an inverse sense and are
worthy of no credit whatever" Armero
states that to complete the canal the
enormous sum of $50S, ,299, 900 will be re-
Quired

An Insurance Company's Charge Against
DnIiet Manufacturing Iirm.

The city of Joliet is considerably ex-
cited over a lawsuit on trial there IN
which the California Insurance Com
pany seeks to recover from the Lambert
& Bishop Wire Fence Company money
paid that company on their loss by fire
in 1888. Col. Young, in the opening ad
dress, said that he would prove that the
Lambert x Bishop Company burnt their
own works for the insurance, of which
there was about Sl50,000, and of which
over 100000 was paid by the insurance
companies. All the companies are said
to be back of the California company.
James White, superintendent of the
company's works at the time of the fire,
testified that the president of the COM
pany gave him 5000 in the company's
stock for which he set fire to the works
to get the insurance and build anew.
He told how he made a machine
scatter fire around upon the floor
which he lad saturated with oil and
covered with combustible material.
Lambert & Bishop stand high in manu-
featuring and social circles and say they
will put the stripes on White.

Ore, at 6 O'clock on the evening of the
Goth. She was on her regular trip from
Portland with $50 passengers. Just as

be had from the mains to supply

OF complete or partial darkness at night
is to be added to the promised water
famine. Meantime, when fire or two
would find the department crippled,

trustees are at loggerheads and abuse
